The municipal corporation (MC) on Monday demolished two illegal commercial buildings and removed an encroachment in separate operations carried out in Zones B and D as part of its drive against unauthorised construction.
In Zone B, officials demolished an illegal portion of a commercial building in Sundar Nagar. In another operation, the building branch of the Zone D office razed an under-construction commercial building near the Jawaddi canal bridge.
The civic body also removed an encroachment on Sua Road behind Keys Hotel.
Assistant town planner (ATP) Harvinder Singh Honey said the action was taken on the directions of MC commissioner Neeru Katyal Gupta as part of an ongoing crackdown on unauthorised construction.
He said notices had earlier been served on the owners, but construction activity continued despite warnings, prompting the civic body to initiate demolition proceedings.
The MC appealed to residents to obtain approval of building plans before starting construction work, warning that strict action would be taken against unauthorised structures.
